Transmission
This adventure begins with two independent watchmakers, Hervé Schlüchter and Philippe Dufour who, beyond an infinite passion for a magical craft, bounded around by values they hold dear. Hard work and humility are the foundations of this particular bound from which results a unique know-how, forged through decades of experiences.
Interprétation Contemporaine
Through his experiences and this apprenticeship, Hervé Schlüchter wishes to deliver is interpretation of what a modern watchmaker can aspire to. He is able to conceive, produce and decorate each component of a timepiece, from a hand-drawn sketch on blank canvas, in complete independence. Hervé realizes his contemporary vision of his profession while paying tribute to watchmaking traditions and the way of working of 19th century watchmakers.

Transmission
Claim to realize timepieces following traditional horological art's strictest teachings requires hard work, a deep personal investment but also a great dose of humility and the capacity to question oneself at all time. It implies the lucidity to know that no matter the years of experience one posesses, there will always be something to learn. These moments of sharing drench the thirst for learning, deeply rooted in Philippe and Hervé.
